Hist. crit. notes:Ever since his exhibition at the Design Museum London and at other renowned exhibition spaces, Martino Gamper’s chair designs have been a household name on the international art and design scene. His constructions, mostly converted from discarded or existing chairs, initially focus on an expert analysis of the social, historical and cultural aspects of the original motifs and their levels of expression in order ultimately to bring spontaneity and chance to the fore.
